Virtulisation Problem

[Kanky]

Hi Guys,

I have run in an issue when trying to virtualize an instance of Windows Server 2016.

My system is:
OS Version:
FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1
(Build Date: Dec 20, 2018 22:41)
Processor:
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2750 @ 2.41GHz (8 cores)
Memory:
32 GiB

VM1 - Ubuntu - 2 x vCores, 8024mb RAM
VM1 - Windows Server - 2 xvCores, 6024mb RAM

I currently have one VM running Ubuntu without any issues. When I spun up a second VM for Win Server 2016 it started freezing at intermittent times regardless of what the system was doing. The last time it happened I was adding users to an Active Directory, other times it was when checking for updates. There are no defined steps I can take to reproduce the issue. I had a look in EventViewer and there is nothing there other than the rescheduled reboot. This is what leads me to think it's a virtualization Issue rather than a Windows issue.

Edit: This is the CPU usage, doesn't look right?

Any ideas why this might be happening or where I could look to get further information? Thanks!

Did you figure out the cause for this?

Well just for the record, the reporting graphs, particularly CPU usage, we have dozens of people that say this is not working correctly in the new interface. Can you see what your CPU usage reporting graph looks like using the "legacy" interface? I suspect it will make more sense.

No after 3 days I decided to just give up and move it to a VM Server. I read (can't find the links now) that Bhyve doesn't work well with Windows Server.
